To understand the violent criminal, says Richard E Tremblay, imagine a 2-year-old boy doing the things that make the terrible twos terrible — grabbing, kicking, pushing, punching, biting.
Now imagine him doing all this with the body and resources of an 18-year-old.
You have just pictured both a perfectly normal toddler and a typical violent criminal as Dr Tremblay, a developmental psychologist at University College Dublin in Ireland, sees them — the toddler as a creature who reflexively uses physical aggression to get what he wants; the criminal as the rare person who has never learned to do otherwise.
In other words, dangerous criminals don’t turn violent. They just stay that way.
These findings have been replicated in multiple large studies by several researchers on several continents — via redwolf.newsvine.com

We created fourteen master tile sculptures, each 12”x12” with a depth of 3”-4”. The overall look is intentionally big and chunky
, with layers of smaller detail as a bonus for folks who look more closely at the home theatre’s walls. We also created a number of custom mannequins for replica movie costumes the client owned. As an alternative to ill-fitting mass-produced mannequins, we created customized, dynamically posed forms to capture the characters! A museum style base completed each display. For more work like this, please visit our Custom Mannequins and Displays page Want truly unique, hand-made custom décor for your home or office? Contact us today! Each master tile was moulded and expertly cast in tinted resin by Lonnie Hale. From there, details were randomly highlighted in colours chosen by the home’s decorator, to help add a sense of variation to the 120 finished tiles that would be applied to the walls — via Tom Spina Designs
Police are still trying to figure out why a group of unknown suspects would break into a Vaughn Street home just to smoke marijuana and dye their hair.
A woman discovered the burglary when she came home the day after Thanksgiving following a two-day trip to celebrate the holiday. Oddly enough, nothing was missing from the residence, located in the 500 block of Vaughn Street, according to a Murfreesboro Police Department incident report.
(The woman) stated that when she returned to her residence, she noticed her front window open,
Officer Christopher Williams said in the report, and a cover had been placed over the window, and (she smelled) the odour of smoked marijuana.
Williams said the woman also pointed out that someone had dyed their hair red in the bathroom

Actor Peter O’Toole, who starred in Sir David Lean’s 1962 film classic Lawrence of Arabia, died on Saturday aged 81, his agent has said.
He was being treated at London’s Wellington hospital after a long illness, his agent added.
O’Toole’s daughter Kate said the family was overwhelmed by the outpouring of real love and affection being expressed towards him, and to us
.
He received an honorary Oscar in 2003, having initially turned it down.
In a letter the actor asked the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to delay it until he was 80, saying he was still in the game and might win the bugger outright
.
But when he finally clasped his statuette, he said: Always a bridesmaid, never a bride, my foot.
O’Toole’s agent said he was one of a kind in the very best sense and a giant in his field

Imagine the pitch to the investors: It’s going to be a futuristic, state-of-the-art motel with every modern convenience from water beds to 8-tracks. The entire dining area will be covered in deep-pile pink and purple carpet. But wait — here’s the best part. It will look like an abstract sculpture of a giant turkey. We’ll bill it as a romantic getaway — and call it The Gobbler!
